Oct 15 (Reuters) – Fast-food chain KFC on Thursday signed Coca-Cola as its beverage partner to provide sodas at its US stores, ending a longtime deal with PepsiCo.
There are 3,718 KFC locations in the US, according to the company’s website. Losing a beverage partnership at the fast-food chain would come as a blow to PepsiCo, which is struggling to improve sales in the country.
Coca-Cola products will be available at KFC US restaurants by spring 2027, the company said.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the news on Thursday.
